Sappiness Below -- You have been warned.


End of another short "vacation" week with my fiancee. /sigh.

It wasn't as much of a vacation as either one of us would have liked. We managed to cram what could have been months worth of wedding planning into this one week. So it was quite exhausting for a few of these short days. There were some sketchy parts here and there where we vented a tiny bit of frustration on one another...but overall I think we got through it all just fine. I think wedding planning must have been created as a couple's first big challenge together...that's the only rationale I can think of for all this crazy things that has to be prepared beforehand.

Here I am on our last night together and I can't sleep. I lay there watching her sleep peacefully and I wish I could be like that character in the show "Heroes" where I could wish time to pause....just a little while.

No worries about project deadlines, fattening waistlines, endless bills. No concerns about taxes and business advertising. No fears about wedding details and future goals. No concerns about friends and family members in ill health. No angers, no frustrations, no pain...

Just pause.... so I can just lie here staring at her just a little while longer.

How sappy huh? Yeah, just typing this part of me wants to throw up haha. Well life moves on. Back to work! All 5 months of it. Hopefully I can bury myself by being so busy these months will fly by!

My ear is all ok now. Yes, having a nurse at home each day to help me administer the ear drops helped. But I'll tell you what...having a nurse at home to help you may sound good at first, until you realize most of your medical visits in your life were never really any fun. They usually involved some pain and a lot of jabbing. Well, that about sums up what I got under her care...pain and jabbing. :)

You are becoming a sensitive, reflective and yes sappy girl (oops, I mean man):} Nice photo, you guys look happy despite the the crap load of stuff you must have to get through to organise the wedding. Looking so forward to my trip overseas. Your wedding will be the icing on "holiday" cake. Ace to catch up with you again.

Yeah, perhaps after catching up some sleep I'll grow some balls back. :)

Very funny. Just hold your nose and breath and push real hard - the balls will pop out again. They always go into hiding when big decisions have to be made - I think it is a safety mechanism. Not sure if this is true - I could be full of s..t :}

Everything about wedding goes fine after I worked with my sappy girl last week. We had a "wounderful" remark that Raphael will tell you more about it. It's wounderful even holding your nose, breath and trying to push that wouldn't work too much. Hehehehehehe...
